I’m familiar with CS having inhaled a bunch of it in the Fort Leonard Wood gas chamber. It’s not lethal.
No, but it's something you will remember your entire life......LOL!
CS is one of two types of tear gas; the other being CN. Nobody was killed with CS, though they might wish they were.
CN irritates your eyes and that’s about all. I found it annoying, nothing more.
CS, on the other hand, irritates all of your mucus membranes including nose, throat and lungs, and all of it hurts.
These things I learned by tear-gassing THOUSANDS as a U.S. Air Force gas mask instructor. And if the students gave me any crap that day, or wore too much brass, then I might have added an extra CS capsule, or three, to the burner. Purely by accident, of course.
